Today was the endo. Haven't been to one since college, when the visit was an incredible disappointment (he didn't look at my log book even when I offered it). This woman was very thorough (IMO), acknowledged my experience, and gave me some good pointers. Not bad. The highlight, however, was my A1C, which in November was 7.3 and today was 6.6. WOO HOO! I gave the lab tech a high five, and even bragged to the guy giving samples of turkey breast at Safeway. (I asked if he knew what an A1C was, and he did, and he congratulated me.)

So I'm just pretty happy right now. Oh, I didn't have any cavities last week either. Maybe I should play the lottery?

On cloud nine (or shall we say, 6.6),

Because of this post I guess I should also be excited as my A1C was 6 today, but this was the first time I have heard that number and he pointed out that previously I was over 7.

Where should your A1C be as a type 2?
